I wish I could muster up enough enthusiasts to start it up again. You and are are at the same stage, tree-wise (and with grapes too?!), what an easy process it was, just moving the tree a few yards into the house!<br />Hope you had a lovely Christmas and thanks for popping in during the year, I have so enjoyed your comments.

But Brian to the rescue, eh. A few years ago I bought a load of Martha Stewart books. I enjoyed reading them but that's as far as it went 😖. Thanks for your kindness, the couple in the pic were much younger then but the outfit is red, velvet, embroidered, longer length ... bang on trend for AW17 so I just had to sign off with it!<br />Hope you and The Rohrs had a wonderful time, hugs, x thepoutingpensionerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13484934089759704702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3385292529998118275.post-37012800770177182022017-12-23T13:27:02.573+00:002017-12-23T13:27:02.573+00:00Hi lovely Christmas Blog.

When we were children we used to go round the village (Fotheringhay, Mary Queen of Scots and all that) every Christmas Eve after church with real lanterns, singing at every house, I really loved that but I don't think anyone does that sort of thing now, I hope you have a very Happy Christmas.By the way we did the same with our tree that we bought last year it has grown quite a bit and will have to be planted this year in the garden.pollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06505575770288771183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3385292529998118275.post-82550097871990783692017-12-23T13:06:12.687+00:002017-12-23T13:06:12.687+00:00Looking like royalty in this last pic - what a han...Looking like royalty in this last pic - what a handsome couple!!! What fun to read about your holiday memories! Singing to a lady at 107 and then she suddenly passes a few weeks later...hmmmmm...I'm sure it had nothing to do with the singing. Yeah, nothing to do with it at all. Yeah. Ok.<br />So I love beautifully wrapped packages and I try. One of our first Christmases together about 22 years ago I was on a Martha Stewart kick. She had wrapped all of her packages in plain, brown butcher paper and had stamped with sponges (she cut into cute shapes) Christmas trees on them. Tied with a simple ribbon they were rustic and stunning. I had to re-create and become like Martha. Bought the paper, cut the sponges, stamped away. So proud of myself. Until the next morning when the tape didn't hold and all the packages had come undone! I was in tears! My sweet husband suggested we get out the hot glue gun, so we did and it took a sweet forever. NEVER again, that damn Martha Stewart! So there's my Christmas memory! Hahahahahaha!!!<br />I know my limits.<br />I wish you and TP all the best with your family! Merry Christmas my sweet friend, love ya sista!<br />xo,<br />KellyannKellyann Rohrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11320531991490519576noreply@blogger.com
